With urban poverty rising and affordable housing disappearing, the homeless and other "disorderly" people continue to occupy public space in many American cities. Concerned about the alleged ill effects their presence inflicts on property values and public safety, many cities have wholeheartedly embraced "zero-tolerance" or "broken window" policing efforts to clear the streets of unwanted people. Through an almost completely unnoticed set of practices, these people are banned from occupying certain spaces. Once zoned out, they are subject to arrest if they return-effectively banished from public places. Banished is the first exploration of these new tactics that dramatically enhance the power of the police to monitor and arrest thousands of city dwellers. Drawing upon an extensive body of data, the authors chart the rise of banishment in Seattle, a city on the leading edge of this emerging trend, to establish how it works and explore its ramifications. They demonstrate that, although the practice allows police and public officials to appear responsive to concerns about urban disorder, it is a highly questionable policy: it is expensive, does not reduce crime, and does not address the underlying conditions that generate urban poverty. Moreover, interviews with the banished themselves reveal that exclusion makes their lives and their path to self-sufficiency immeasurably more difficult. At a time when more and more cities and governments in the U.S. and Europe resort to the criminal justice system to solve complex social problems, Banished provides a vital and timely challenge to exclusionary strategies that diminish the life circumstances and rights of those it targets.

Recent critics have affirmed the difficulty—perhaps the impossibility—of defining modern comedy; at the same time, some feminist scholars are seeking to understand the special comedy often present in literature written by women. Comedy and the Woman Writer responds to both these concerns of recent criticism: feminist literary theory and theories of comedy. Judy Little develops a critical apparatus for identifying feminist comedy in recent fiction, especially the radical political and psychological implications of this comedy, and then applies and tests her theory by examining the novels of Virginia Woolf and Muriel Spark. Despite recent scholarly attention to Woolf, the profound comedy of her work has been largely overlooked, and the comic fiction of Spark has seldom had the responsible and attentive criticism that it deserves. The introductory chapter draws upon anthropology and sociology, as well as literary criticism and the fiction of feminist writers such as Woolf, Doris Lessing, and Monique Wittig, to define a modern feminist comedy. Four central chapters then explore the implications of this comedy in the novels of Woolf and Spark. Little distinguishes between, on the one hand, several varieties of traditional comedy and satire and, on the other, the festive or “liminal” comedy to which feminist comedy belongs. Both Woolf and Spark mock centuries-old mythic patterns and behaviors deriving from basic social norms, as well as the values emerging from these norms. It is one thing, the author points out, to find “manners” amusing, to scourge vices, or to mock the follies of lovers; it is a much more drastic act of the imagination to mock the very norms against which comedy has traditionally judged vices, follies, and eccentricities. While the comedy of Woolf and Spark has some precedent in festive or liminal celebrations, during which even basic values and behavior are abandoned, feminist comedy displays its radical nature by implying that there is no resolution to the inverted overturned world, the world in revolutionary transition. The final chapter considers briefly, in the light of the critical model of feminist comedy, the work of several other twentieth-century writers, including Jean Rhys, Penelope Moritmer, and Margaret Drabble. The presence of radical comedy in the fiction of these and other writers suggests the need for continuing attention to the theory of feminist comedy proposed in this study.

This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2015. The topic of deception is an area of study that has fascinated researchers and readers alike for generations. From infamous tales of espionage and conspiracy, to the targeted deception of illusionists and magicians, and notorious examples of deceptive statements and actions in public life, the concept of deception is widely recognised by the general public. The pervasive nature of deception and deceit, permeating all facets of life from the annals of history to the present day, means that it is an area of research that benefits substantially from an approach that crosses conventional academic and research boundaries. This collection represents an interdisciplinary exploration of the concept of deception, expanding the readers’ awareness and understanding of a range of areas including the portrayal of deception in literature and spy fiction, the existence and success of literary hoaxes, deception and illusion in visual art, and the use of deception in both strategic and interpersonal contexts.

From the Writer’s Desk I am very much grateful to the Almighty and everyone whose blessings and inspirations has motivated me to write this book. Muriel Spark was a Unique voice of the 20th Century. In this book. An attempt has been made to incorporate the feelings, emotions, disturbances, instabilities of the Man that was represented in Muriel Spark works through her Characters. The moments, desires, fears that dwells in the mind of the character for which they are not responsible. I have tried to encamped the entire scenario by reflecting their situations in different chapters. It is seen that her novels are an experimental foray into the relationship between the author and her character through which she is able to explore her own role as a novelist. This book acknowledges the journey of the novelist who becomes more confident in writing her second novel. Readers can see her journey who has accepted her life as full of meaning, hall-marked by design and purpose. Muriel Spark - a singular voice of 20th century literature a novelist, poet, and essayist, she has style, she has charm, she has wit, she’s profound, she’s serious, she’s religious, she’s political. ‘and I went on my way rejoicing ’. To have read all of Spark is an achievement in itself , but also a spur to share that experience and to try to convey the impact and significance of her extensive portfolio. The best way to lead a writers life is time- tested and amply documented throughout history.
